co-operating with the Council in the production of this volume, and will purchase 300 copies.

The additional volume for 1906 will be a further instalment of the County Folk-lore Series, viz., the Folk- lore of Lincolnshire collected from printed sources by Miss Peacock and Mrs. Gutch. The collection is in the hands of the Council and will shortly be ready for press. As the material is unusually abundant, it is probable that it will be found necessary to issue a second volume at a later date.

The Council have under their consideration the ques- tion of an additional volume for 1907, but have at present come to no decision. They are expecting at an early date to receive Mr. Chope's collection of Devon- shire Folklore from printed sources, and Mrs. Gutch has very kindly undertaken the collection of the Folklore of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Other MSS. have been placed in the hands of the Council with a view to publication, and these are still under consideration.

The Society was represented at the meeting of the British Association at York by Mr. E. S. Hartland, the President of Section H ; Dr. Haddon, Mr, Gomme, Dr. Rivers, Mrs. Gutch, and others.

The Council submit herewith the Annual Accounts and Balance Sheet duly audited. The balloting list for the Council and Offices for the ensuing year is sent herewith.

By Order of the Council.
